You posted things I have talked about in the past as absolutes in your post I am quoting above. Like I have said ALL Pentecostal women are ugly and need makeup. We both know that is absolutely not how I have stated things. I have said that the majority of women are not blessed with naturally clear complexions, lips with color, etc and that makup applied properly enhances their appearance (and also furthers the seperation of the sexas by the way - something OP's are supposed to be for).
I have no doubt that there are some stringy haried Pentecostal women that are some of the sweetest women on the planet and godly women as well. That does not mean they don't have stringy hair that does not look good when I see it at Wal Mart. Sorry. That is just a fact. If I post that I see no glory for God in that it is what I believe. It doesn't make these women less godly, less sweet, etc. I have friends and relatives who look like that and I love them dearly.
In your frustration with me you have also personaized my discussions to the point you apparently believe I am trying to personally persuade each and every old time Pentecostal woman to change her standards.
I don't go around "witnessing" to Pentecostal women that they should change in my every day life. This is a DISCUSSION FORUM and this is where I discuss these things.
I have been around hundreds of Pentecostal folks, at least half of them women, and NEVER said one word to them about their hair, dress, or any other standards they choose to keep.
Apparently when you read what I believe is the truth about these subjects you extend that to picture me with some sort of personal vendetta to change all Pentecostal women I come in contact with. Just not true.
Do I hope some people who have come to the same conclusions I have about what the biblical truth and principles are regarding these things read my posts and find inspirtation in them? Of course! Just as I am sure every conservative contending for bundage does.
Don't make it personal!!!!
I am pleased that you still love me because you are one of my favorite posters and the fact that you are so angry with me has distressed me greatly. I can't apologize for what I have posted and written because I meant every word of it but I am sorry that it has made you think less of me and that you think I am not representing my positons well.
I apologize for the rambling nature of this post but it has been a very long day. Maybe I can come back later when I am refreshed with some of the good brisket my wife is cooking and edit it so that it makes sense!
God Bless You Pressing On

WOW, I may have misunderstood you all these years?!!! Is that why people get divorced?!!!
Thank you for your post. Maybe I should have talked with you back on AFF.
Okay,
I'll read your future posts with more objectivity. I can only try.
